Ah, my bad, I thought you were the one not wanting a "license steward" 
and instead having it be "immutable".

(Given that the law tends to change every few years even in individual 
jurisdictions, walling that option off for anything nontrivial seems a 
bit weird. The more the license does, the more security surface area it 
exposes, as it were. Of course the steward going toxic in future is its 
own fun can of worms, as GPLv3 amply demonstrated. Which is why I went 
for simple.)

The rest was basically a reaction to you seemingly making a license for 
OTHER people to use, rather than for your own project(s).

Most of the licenses that go by here are either:

A) The license on an existing (often inherited) codebase which a new 
steward wants to get legacy approval for because relicensing existing 
code is a huge pain (when not outright impossible).

B) An organization that's about to do a new project coming up with a 
license for their own immediate use.

My main question was, if you think other people shouldn't come up with a 
new license and instead use a provided one... why didn't you? (The 
answer seems to be you consider yourself a better steward than Mozilla, 
but I'm not interested in that whole line of inquiry, so... As I said, 
my bad.)

An example of "been there, done that" showing I'd answered the questions 
I was asking you.
